In the pictures that I sent you, you can see how it fits. It acts like a lever.Look at the pictures closely and you'll see it sticking out a bit. Once again in the pictures where I have it circled. Can you see where I'm talking about?? It just clips/snaps on so when the lid closes, it pushes on the switch to close the circuit which then cancels that annoying message........Let me know......I'm feeling better so if I have to take the printer apart and take one more picture, I can do that for you so you can see exactly where it goes...........

It's under printer options, format memory. You'll probably have to play with it a little because they like to hide the format option so you don't do it accidentally. Good luck!
Please leave me a good rating, thanks! :)

Hah, yeah I remember having that too when I first got my printer and I thought my printer was broken but it's actually something really simple.
Right next to the slot where the paper goes in there's a little thing that you can move. Try moving it so it just touches the side of the paper. It's basically indended for if you want to use different formats of paper but the standard size isn't set to A4.
I hope I explained that clearly enough, if you don't know what exactly I mean let me know and I'll try explaining it better.

Regarding Error code
6A00. I have a Canon Pixma iP5000. I got that code. No easy answers on
the net so I took it apart myself. The covers are all snap locked on.
It was a bit painful but I got the side and top covers off to reveal
the print head. There is a device that slides back n forth and acts
like a window cleaners squeegie on the printhead. This mechanism seemed
to be stuck at its full extention rather than being back at home base.
Every time I turned it on and off I could see it tried to move but
seemed to be stuck. I gave it a little assistance and that released it.
I think it had become blocked up with drying ink and that had acted
like a glue holding it out at full extension. The mechanism that drives
the sliding squeegie relies on a spring for it to return. The
spring wasn't strong enough to over come the gluey ink and so the whole
thing jammed up which is probably what the code means - jammed
mechanism. If you are going to try it. Do not force any part of the
covers. There are little arrows in the plastic indicating where the
snap locks are, stick a flat head screw driver in to release. Trial and
error will release the right ones first. You'll release one part only
to find it hooked up at the next snap lock. Some are hidden under or on
opening covers so keep looking. The base seems to be securly attached
to the workings so don't try and get it off. Just top and sides. Ink is
water based so a damp rag is all you need to clean.

Solution 2

the
problum is a paper was stuck if you open the right side of the printer
where your memory card slot is.make shure that you have two screws in
your hand one is when you open the printer and one is by the computer
port, well you open that up and you will find a white thing that locks
where your ink goes, there should be a small little peace of paper there
And also make to use gloves there could be ink on that paper i had black ink allover my hands,

Solution 3

The 6A00 is a Canon generic code for paper path jam. Some where in the
paper path a sensor is activated indicating paper jam so the printer
will give off a 6A00 code. As a Canon tech, I usually find the code,
almost 90% of the time, is related to the purge unit being jammed with
something and not being able to move. Moving the print head assembly
will not clear a purge unit if its jammed with paper, paper clips, push
pins, screws, cookie crisp, flower bud pods or the like. And yes I have
found all those things in a purge unit. The offending item needs to be
removed or the purge unit needs replacement. A Pixma MP830 would still
be under Canon warranty, get it into a shop and save yourself the
hassel. Incidently, the 6A00 error pertains to all Canon printers
made in the last several years, its not just used in one model. And its
always a paper path error or purge unit.I forget myself so here
goes, the purge unit, called a spittoon assembly in an HP, lexmark, and
other inkjet printers, is where the print head assembly parks when not
in use, also its other job is to clean and make sure the print head is
clean and open for printing. That is why you'll find the print head
assembly parked on top of it. It also has a an electrical pump to milk
the print heads and test for ink flow.

These would be my recommendations, based on problems I've had with a similar printer:

1) Open the printer and pull the cyan cartridge back out.

2) Check the bottom of the cartridge to make sure there aren't any scraps of plastic or other material that might be preventing the printer from recognizing it.

3) Check inside the ink well (where the cartridge goes) to make sure nothing's stuck down in there that might be preventing the connection. Be careful and use a flashlight so that you don't accidentally break anything else (I've done that before).

4) If all of that is clear, re-insert the ink cartridge and push down (not too hard, but firmly) until it clicks into place.

5) If none of that works, the leads on the cartridge might have been damaged, or it might just be defective. You'll probably need a replacement toner cartridge at that point.

My canon cp510 photo printer printed only half of the photo (only the left part if you look to printer whith papercartridge towards you) I repaired: Put cp510 upside down Open box by 4 little screws philips and three bigger. turn upside again and wathc out for little screwsGet off the plastic box, topside, and i found: (when you have the printer like "normal"i mean with entrance for paper cartridge towards yourselves )I find from left to right a metal axle of about 5 mm diameter. on right end i found a white plastic thing whcih puts down the printing head/ink foil casette. It was broken arond the axle, it was torn due to pressing so often., I suppose. Dutch official Canon repair shop said i could not get a spare one as they could not order spare parts, they expected. Anyway. i reparied it myself with super glue: To get iron axle free, in order to get broken plastic "pusher" off, I first unscrewed to bigger screws in the metal plate on left side and also the very litltle screw on front side (on/off switch. This all to give space to axle when i want to lift it up on right side.I got off also bottom plastic house, then you keep iron house , on right corner on front side the metal side is screwed to a metal bar with a very little phillips screw (1,8 mm screwdriver). It is very fixed, so you have to push very well on screwdriver, and i got screw free. then i pulled teh right wall on topside a bit so that i could just get out teh iron axle from that right side wall an lifted it up and pulled off plastic broken/teared part. With thin paper i cleaned the tear (from any fat/oil form machine) and put some superglue on it, put it back on axle and i had allready some little clamps ready to pressure on plastic part. Please note the axle is not round at the end, but there is a space to be able to push the plastic part down. So look well that you put plastic part on axle back in some position. Of course you can make photo's during repair in order not to forget how it was together.. The immediately. put presses or clamps on teh plastic for the necessary pressure (I used little, but strong clothes pins ). after a day of drying. i put togetehr machine an d it worked again. allraeady 10 photos upto now. hope it will work for several years agian !. note: afterwards, i read, i schould have used special super glue for plastics. Have success. Frank

If you look closely at the spot where a toner cartridge slips into a slot of sorts, you might see left side aligned and right side just a little off of 'good alignment' for that slot. What I did is to pull on the top of the black-plastic gear. Pull it toward the center of the printer.

There is a small, white gear at the very top of the black gear (not easy to see at first). By this pulling and bending of the black-plastic gear, you can get the gear teeth free of the white gear --- for just a moment. Just enough for the gear teeth to free-up and find their proper place. It doesn't take much.

When done, take a breadth and relax. Turn power off/on, and try it out.

the little pieces of plastic are the sensor flags which is why it will not feed, those are required to let the machine know that the paper is present in the feeder. No flag no feed. Look at the plastic thing try to figure out where it goes in the feeder if you look close, you will see a spot where they go.

Hi denzirelli,
Apparently several reviews of this printer say it is known for poor print quality when dealing with graphics AND the tubes can become blocked.
As far as troubleshooting goes if you haven?t done so already purchase a new set of official Brother ink jet cartridges, black and color. The newer ink jets are a lot smarter and remember the last couple of cartridge serial numbers. If that doesn?t work then try running the nozzle cleaning utility a couple of times.
If that fails call the Brother and let them walk you through the troubleshooting process. I don?t suggest you lie, just don't volunteer the fact that you were evil and tried to deprive them of their profit. Worst case they won?t do a warrantee replacement, best case is you?ll have a working printer.
If you don?t want to pursue the above option or if tech support won?t help then we?re back to troubleshooting again, when you say it doesn?t print black does that mean colors do print? If that?s the case then I suspect the black tube or the nozzles are blocked. From what I?ve read it?s a little bit of a pain to remove the print head but the key is not to disconnect the tubes. Remove the print head and the cartridge container as a unit. The ribbon cables have to be unplugged from the circuit board. Disconnect the belt and you should be able to take the print head out and clean it.
